New Serbian standards for respiratory protective devices

The revised SRPS EN 143 (en), Respiratory protective devices - Particle filters - Requirements, testing, marking (https://iss.rs/en/project/show/iss:proj:61166) was published in July 2021. This document specifies particle filters for use as replaceable components in unassisted respiratory protective devices (RPD) with the exception of escape devices and filtering face pieces. This edition withdraws and replaces the previous one that was published in 2007, as well as the Corrigendum from 2013.

In July 2021, ISS also published the new edition of SRPS EN 14387 (en), Respiratory protective devices - Gas filter(s) and combined - filter(s) - Requirements, testing, marking (https://iss.rs/sr_Cyrl/project/show/iss:proj:61095), refers to gas filters and combined filters for use as replaceable components in unassisted respiratory protective devices (RPD) with the exception of escape devices. Filters for use against CO are excluded from this document. The previous edition was published in 2013.

These two standards also include laboratory tests to assess the compliance with the requirements of the standards.

ISS NTC F094, Protective clothing and protective equipment (https://iss.rs/sr_Cyrl/committee/show/9172) is responsible for the development and adoption of Serbian standards in this field of standardization.
